How to get a QR Code Scanner

To read a QR code you may need to have an ‘app’ on your device. There are many free ‘apps’ available to enable your smart device (phone or tablet) to scan and read QR codes via the built in camera, simply visit the AppSore or Android Market from your device.

QR Codes and Memorials

We offer you the opportunity to set up an on line memorial which can be reached easily through the use of QR Code technology, effectively linking traditional physical memorials with digital on line memorials. Even if you don’t know what a QR or Quick Response code is, you have probably seen them on product packaging or posters. The seemingly random collection of black and white shapes are actually a type of two-dimensional barcode that can be read using smartphones or tablets. They can link the user directly to a website by simply scanning the code with a smartphone's camera.

With so many of us now owning smartphones, QR codes are a way of being able to link people to web site locations at the press of a button.

When a memorial is visited, the associated QR code can be scanned to find out more about the person who has died, such as their life story and pictures. We host the on-line memorial for you, which has the advantage of guaranteeing that the link from the QR Code will always work.
